DAVID LUCIO
Biography
PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering, MEng in Civil Engineering, and MSc in Coastal Engineering. David is a postdoctoral researcher at the Environmental Hydraulics Institute (IHCantabria), in the Climate Risk, Adaptation & Resilience group. His research focuses on developing innovative methodologies for characterizing compound climate events and their interaction with critical infrastructure in the context of climate change, with an emphasis on coastal structures. David has co-authored five scientific papers (four as leading author); presented his work at more than twenty international and national conferences; and actively contributed to over twenty research, innovation, and development projects. The methodology developed during his PhD is employed by the Spanish Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge to project the impacts of climate change on coastal structures along the Spanish coastline. Additionally, David holds the position of treasurer for the IAHR Spain Young Professionals Network.
In 2022, he was awarded the Modesto Vigueras First Prize by the Spanish Technical Association of Coasts and Ports (Spanish National Section of PIANC). This award recognizes young professionals under the age of 40 for their outstanding contributions to the scientific and technical community through highly significant professional work. Finally, David is an active reviewer for Elsevier, contributing to peer-reviewed scientific journals such as Coastal Engineering, Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, and Ecological Informatics, among others.
